Er, wargrafix, weren't you paying attention to the last panel? While I agree that there's a case to be made about Faye bringing any hurt she feels on herself by fence-straddling, it's pretty clear Sven must think he's in a commitment of some sort. Otherwise, why the worry? In fact, why the 'it's only…' comments all the way through? And if you think (as opposed to saying, sometimes also known as lying) you're committed, you pretty much are, yes?
As for simply fearing trouble, Sven seems mostly to only do this after he's had his fun. We've seen this several times now. But worrying about it beforehand is new.
What would be really interesting: Faye finds out, then Sven goes into the whole Swiffer commercial* thing about it while Dora, observing her brother contrite, goes into shock. It seems completely out of character, but then it also seems to me to be out of character for Sven to give a wet slap about the next minute, relationship-wise, much less the next day. Particularly mid-coitus.
*I always thought whoever wrote "Baby Come Back" (vapid lyrics, limp melody, lame guitar lead) ought to be made to eat two thousand copies of it ('twas back in the days of vinyl). But the mariachi band actually makes it sound not half-bad.
johnnynutty:
Gina Riversmith has no earlobes except in the last panel. What gives?
The Joker:
Since Sven and Gina are having sex right now, I predict this course...
- Faye walks in
- Walks out crying (neither Gina nor Sven realize that she has seen them)
And cue ANGUS.
- Faye sleeps with Angus
- Sven finds out but doesn't reprimand Faye (even though he is hurt inside), realizing that it would be hypocritical
- Faye doesn't get mad at him either (though she is also sad inside)
- Sven wonders why she isn't angry, then finds out about Angus and Faye (Fangus?) and that Faye knows about him and Gina
And cue mind-boggling amounts of DRAMA.
*Edit: This took me so long to write I literally forgot what was at the top.

I really hope Jeph doesn't have Faye walk in on this. I'd be more interested in seeing how Sven actually handles it if Faye doesn't know about it. It's not an exclusive relationaship but they had a friendship first and Faye expected manogamy and Sven appeared to accept her expectations. I'm curious if Sven is going to be decent, sleazy or cowardly.
A decent person would admit what they did and give Faye the option of sticking around or walking away. A sleazeball would keep sleeping with Faye and not tell her. A coward would break it off with Faye immediately and never tell her, thus sparing her heart.
What kind of guy is Sven?
I think he's a coward.
